Script Question

Does anyone know if the scripting functions are identical in Daz Studio and in Carrara? Looks like the pages dealing the scripts methods are the same.
I am posting this question on behalf of Virtual World Dynamics currently developing a Cloth Simulator for Poser and if we are lucky will, go on to make a plugin for Carrara.

Given the results seen in this video this would be an exciting add on for Carrara https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggfjt8DxWoY

thanks for asking this,
Carrara doesn't support scripting natively. Someone wrote a plug-in that supports some scripting, but I'm not familiar with the details. The SDK is C++, COM style programming and doesn't really share anything of note with DAZ Studio.
Good luck,
Just wondering if you were able to write Native Cloth Simulator Plugin for Carrara?

It's been done: http://www.sparrowhawke3d.com/SimpleCloth.html
Anyhow, after numerous discussions with the author of VWD, I have the feeling that writing a serious cloth simulator is not a trivial endeavor. Making it Carrara native is not the most difficult part, far from it.
Nice; I have to try them soon.
